Description Eugen 2016-07-08 18:59:21 UTC

Hello,

If I use a kernel newer that 4.1, bumblebee doesn't switch the discreet card off after use.
I can only run a program with primusrun. If I close it, I can't run another unless I reboot the laptop and that takes a very long time.
I get

[eugen@manjaro ~]$ cat /proc/acpi/bbswitch
0000:04:00.0 ON

Running dmesg I get

I was told to report this regression here. Someone else on the manjaro forum has the exact problem.
My laptop is an Acer Aspire E 17, i5-5200U, Nvidia GeForce 840M

Thanks for your help

Comment 1 Peter Wu 2016-07-16 11:10:20 UTC

Newer than 4.1 or including 4.1? In that case you might want to try adding the boot option acpi_osi="!Windows 2015"

Please attach your acpidump info as well (ideally create the tarball as described at https://bugs.launchpad.net/lpbugreporter/+bug/752542 and upload it there).

Can you reproduce the problem with the nouveau driver without Bumblebee or bbswitch?

Comment 2 Eugen 2016-07-16 14:16:36 UTC

I don't have any problems with kernel 4.1, only with the kernels that came after.

I attached my acpidump as you asked:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/lpbugreporter/+bug/752542/comments/782

Please check this here:
https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/issues/780

Someone asked me there to try nouveau instead of nvidia and the problem was the same.

Thanks
